Add an AAAA record

AAAA records match your domain to an IPv6 IP address, similar to A records which do the same but with IPv4 address. While AAAA records are less common than A records, they're gaining popularity alongside the increased adoption of IPv6 addresses. An IPv6 address is represented as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, such as 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:6a2e:0371:7234.

Sign in to your GoDaddy Domain Portfolio. (Need help logging in? Find your username or password.)
Select an individual domain to access the Domain Settings page.
Select DNS to view your DNS records.
Select Add New Record and then select AAAA from the Type menu.
Enter the details for your new AAAA record.
- Name: The hostname or prefix of the record, without the domain name. Enter @ to put the record on your root domain, or enter a prefix, such as blog or shop, to create a subdomain that points to an IPv6 address. The Name must follow these guidelines:
  - Periods (.) are allowed but not as the first or last character
  - Consecutive periods (…) are not allowed
  - Cannot begin or end with a hyphen (-)
  - 63 characters in a row not separated by a period (.)
    
    Example: 63characters.63characters.coolexample.com
  - 255 characters maximum
- Value: The IPv6 address the record corresponds to. This is commonly the IP address of your hosting account in IPv6 format, such as 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:6a2e:0371:7234.
- TTL (Time to Live): The amount of time the server should cache information before refreshing. The default setting is 1 hour.
(Optional) Select Add More Records to add multiple DNS records at the same time. If you change your mind, select Delete to remove any records that haven't been saved yet.
Select Save to add your new record. If you added multiple records at the same time, select Save All Records.
- If your domain has Domain Protection, you'll need to verify your identity. If you've had 2-step verification (2SV) turned on for at least 24 hours, enter the code we sent via SMS, or enter the code from your authenticator app. Otherwise, enter the one-time password we sent to your registrant email address.
